seac v0.2.0
seac: Single Executable Application Compiler
A simple command-line tool that compiles a Node.js program into single executable binary that runs without Node.js runtime installed, built on top of the Node.js single executable application (SEA) feature.
!NOTE The Node.js SEA feature is currently still experimental according to the official document. And seac is super experimental.
Installation
npm i -D seac
Usage
Windows:
seac hello.js hello.exe
Linux or macOS:
seac hello.js hello
Limitations
- Requires Node.js v20 or higher
- Only CommonJS is supported. ESM is not supported yet by the Node.js SEA feature.

Technical memo
Seac cannot be compiled to single executable by itself because its denendency esbuild uses uncompilable Node.js feature require.resolve
.
